Chapter 375: Fighting Jiaozhou City for the Moon Again
/
Laizhou Prefecture, Jiaozhou City.
Wang Ermazi stood on the top of the city, looking at the dark Qing soldiers coming, his legs were weak.
Oh my god, the number of these Qing soldiers is indeed tens of thousands, and it seems that the information of the scouts inquiry is not false.
Although he was very panicked now, he could not express his slightest expression.
Otherwise, if the soldiers saw it, wouldn’t they be even more panicked?
The chief general is the soul of a army.
In any case, Wang Ermazi can’t be confused!
He turned his head and glanced at Gan Hui and Li Shitou on the side. Seeing that the two of them had no panic expressions at all, he felt a little calmer.
That's right, there are these two generals on the side, so what's there to be afraid of?
Even if they really can't win, they can still retreat to Dengzhou.
After understanding this, Wang Ermazi felt a little calmer.
"I will order the entire army to prepare for combat."
Wang Ermazi gave the order and immediately became busy on the top of the city wall.
The gold-burning juice of the gold-burning juice and the rolling stones that carry rolling stones. Even the militia actively participated in it, and all the staff started to move.
The Qing army was not moving forward quickly, and there was still at least one hour to prepare for the Ming army as expected.
They must do their preparations to the extreme and must not be omitted.
Gan Hui personally inspected the location of the cannons on the city wall. In his opinion, these cannons were their only support to defend Jiaozhou.
"This muzzle is too low, adjust it up."
"This muzzle is too high. Are you going to kill birds?"
As a general who worked as an ordinary soldier, Gan Hui was very clear about the key points of using artillery.
He worked tirelessly to guide the soldiers himself, striving to maximize the power of the artillery.
Li Shitou inspected the situation of the Musket Battalion.
They did not bring artillery here, but some flintlock guns were brought.
However, after the last war, there was not much ammunition left, and I wonder if the remaining fixed-packed gunpowder can support this battle.
I can only say that one step is a step
Jixiha looked at the Ming army flag flying at the top of Jiaozhou city, and a strange smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth.
I'm here to kill again, didn't expect it?
When Jiaozhou was defeated in a crushing defeat, Jixiha was very frightened, fearing that the emperor would order the Eight Banners soldiers to arrest him and take him to Beijing for conviction.
The emperor wanted to remove his head and he had no possibility of resistance.
But the emperor was so arrogant that he did not take off his head, but instead ordered him to lead his troops to attack Denglai again.
It would be a bit unreasonable if Jixiha could not take Jiaozhou again this time.
The terrain of Jiaozhou City is so familiar with Jixiha.
The third faces the land and the other faces the sea.
The Qing army was able to attack the land gate on three sides, and it was impossible to fight the water gate. Only after taking Jiaozhou City could the water gate be opened.
This means that if the army sees the situation is not good, it can take the initiative to withdraw.
The Qing army was powerless to do anything about this.
But Jessieha doesn't care.
The emperor gave him the imperial edict to restore Denglai within one month, and it was not mentioned whether he could completely wipe out the Ming army.
In other words, even if Jixiha did not completely wipe out the Ming army, as long as Denglai was recovered, he could write good news to the court.
To take a step back, there are not enough Ming troops killed, so you can use the people of Denglai to make up.
Anyway, no one can see it, so why not use the heads of ordinary people?
To Jixiha, these people are like pigs and dogs, and it doesn’t matter if they are killed completely.
He did not rush to attack, but ordered more than 100,000 troops to surround Jiaozhou City.
Jiaozhou City is not a big city like Jinan. More than 100,000 troops surrounded it with three layers inside and three layers outside.
"Tell me to order me to shoot arrows and throw them into the city first."
This time, Jixiha ordered people to write hundreds of books of persuasion and ordered people to tie them to arrows and shoot them in.
The content of the book of persuading surrender is very simple, which is to let the guards open the city gate and surrender.
If the defender refused, the Qing army would destroy the city after the city was destroyed after the Qing army began to attack the city, and the city of Jiaozhou would be completely slaughtered without leaving any chickens and dogs.
This is also the style of the Qing army's actions.
Ten days in Yangzhou, three massacres in Jiading and the Jiangyin tragedy.
Anyone who resisted to the end would suffer tragic revenge from the Qing army.
Although Jixiha knew that the possibility of the Ming army surrendering to the city was not high, he still planned to give it a try.
Anyway, I tried it and there was no loss.
This time, the Qing army besieged the city, so maybe the Ming army was shaken.
"General Wang, it's just an arrow shot in by the Qing army."
The personal soldiers raised an arrow over their heads and presented it respectfully to Wang Ermazi.
Wang Ermazi took it and took down the note tied to the arrow.
"General Gan, come and read it."
Wang Ermazi and Li Shitou are both the kind that cannot read big words. On the top of the city, Gan Hui has read books and recognized words.
Gan Hui took the note and opened it. After only a moment of reading, he laughed and said, "This is the book of persuading surrender written by the Tartars."
He paused for a moment and then continued: "The Tartars said that if they surrender now, they could spare our lives. If they resisted stubbornly, they would kill the city without leaving any armor after the city was broken."
Wang Ermazi heard this and said angrily: "Hmph, do the Tartars think I was scared? If I were afraid of them, I wouldn't have revolted at the beginning."
Li Shitou also agreed: "This is the usual way for the Tartars. In fact, most of the time, he scares himself. He asked me to say that Ji Xiha is such a shameless dog. Did he forget how he was beaten by us and ran away in panic?"
Gan Hui also said: "Don't pay attention to him, just let him come over."
Wang Ermazi felt very angry and smiled and said, "That's it. The Damingmen have nothing to be cowardly, they just do it!"
"I would also like to ask General Gan to write a handwritten book, which cuts off their thoughts."
"It's easy to say."
Gan Hui nodded.
Wang Ermazi ordered people to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Gan Hui wrote a simple sentence in the city tower.
Wang Ermazi asked him to recite for a moment, and Gan Hui cleared his throat and said, "You will wait for the dog thief to clean his neck and wait for death."
"Haha, it's so exciting."
Wang Ermazi smiled so hard that he couldn't stop talking: "General Gan, you really have it."
"The Tartars want to use these despicable means to interfere with the morale of our army. I am using the same way to treat others."
Through this period of time, Gan Hui really admires Wang Ermazi.
Although this person is a bit vulgar and has never read a few military books, he has a patriotic enthusiasm.
What the Ming Dynasty lacks now is not the kind of general who talks about war on paper, but a practical general like Wang Ermazi and Yu Qi.
Although the current situation has improved a lot, Gan Hui still cherishes righteous men like Yu Qi and Wang Ermazi very much.
If there were more than seven in the north, I am afraid the court would not have such great pressure on the south.
"Come on, cum back to me. I want to see if Jixiha's mouth is so angry that it falls apart after seeing this letter!"
